Typical Kalimantan Musical Instruments

Changes in time from time to time cannot be denied indeed increasingly advanced and developing. The digital age "forces" us to glance at sophisticated gadgets and tools (tools) because it offers practicality in productivity with any purpose because it's easy, including musical instruments. Actually there is nothing wrong with all of that, but it would be nice if a traditional musical instrument that Indonesia has not to lose is consumed by the current era but must be preserved. Like this typical Kalimantan musical instrument, what is important to be known and also learned by the young generation of the nation. Do not just stay by name or even disappear altogether because it is only a legacy of "inheritance" without anyone learning or playing it again.

Typical Kalimantan musical instruments certainly become one of our pride of the Indonesian people, because it is part of history as well as the heritage of the ancestors. If we don't want our country's traditional tools to be taken by other countries, we must always look after them. Besides that, the form of our love for the motherland is one of them by knowing, keeping also learning everything that exists. Traditional musical instruments are even more beautiful when compared to modern / digital musical instruments. Moreover, we can combine with sounds produced by modern instruments. Surely the results will be much more beautiful, because it is a blend of harmonization of modern and traditional music.

Typical Kalimantan Musical Instruments
Here are 5 typical Kalimantan musical instruments that can be used as innovations to be combined with modern musical instruments that you can.

1. Kintung
This Kintung musical instrument is from South Kalimantan. The shape is almost similar to angklung and how to ring it by being hit. To adjust the sound of this kintung depends on the sharpness of each kintung. The higher the sharpener is made, the higher the sound of this instrument. But the handle for the handle becomes shorter. The handle usually uses two sections as a benchmark. The segment in the middle inside the two segments is cleaned and discarded to produce a beautiful sound. If we are creative, maybe we can try it at home.

2. Bumbung
This typical Kalimantan musical instrument is still based on the same material, bamboo. This type of musical instrument is often found in the Berikin village precisely in the Hulu Sungai Tengah Regency. The starch is glutinous rice that has been burned and is in the bamboo. That was the beginning of the process of naming a musical instrument in a bumbung. To produce sound, it uses two bamboo segments. This type of musical instrument can be changed so that it can produce 7 basic notes from a song.

3. Kalampat
Kalampat looks very similar to a drum. The way to play it is the same way by being hit, but the kalampat is hit with a bamboo stick. Material for making it uses large bamboo. It is used for a drum body that requires a diameter that must be large. Kalampat is usually played during bawanang, babalian ceremonies and medical ceremonies which contain mystical elements. It is only played to accompany certain events.

4. Panting
Typical Kalimantan musical instruments that are played by picking. The shape of a kind of Arabic gambus is important, but the size is smaller. Panting comes from the Banjar community, namely the people in South Kalimantan. This type of musical instrument is now very rarely found, the group that usually carries is already rare. A. Sarbaini is a person who is so famous as a great player.

5. Sampek / Sape '
Well, here it is a musical instrument that I refer to as one of the most popular musical instruments in Kalimantan. This one musical instrument is from East Kalimantan Province (sorry if wrong). How to play it is almost the same as painting, that is by picking. The material for making sampek is wood. Kalimantan produces a lot of good wood, so it's not surprising that the sapek produced will be good too. For sampek material, many use adau wood, marang wood, meranti wood and pelantan wood or the like.

Many of these musical instruments are owned by Kalimantan. What are you curious about? Or want to make it yourself? Whatever it is if our goal is to preserve traditional tools, I think that is more than enough as proof of our service and offerings for the homeland of Indonesia.
